Try taking a legacy native AP system with no user identification (same logon) and home-grown user stuff and migrating it to D3. I'm 3 for 3 on letting them keep their application-level user-ids as opposed to the system-level. One client is coming around but it's still teaching an old dog new tricks.
I have a pet peeve that UD (and perhaps UV) has WHO and WHERE flipped, apparently following the underlying unix expressions. One of my UD clients had this throughout their code: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:" ":@account who=field(who," ",1) ; account=field(who," ",2) apparently it was a mass replacement of U50BB (which works anyway). I just have a verb called U50BB that give me what I expect "PORT USER ACCOUNT". Perhaps it's my AP/D3 showing. I also use subs called GET.PORT, GET.ACCOUNT and GET.USER that allow my software to move to other platforms and I only have to modify GET.PORT etc once. my 1 cent. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bruce Nichol" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org> Sent: Thursday, January 20, 2005 10:52 PM Subject: RE: [U2] Universe account Name/ID > Goo'day, At 18:37 20/01/05 -0800, you wrote: > > >Why is it '@WHO' provides the account name, and @ACCOUNT provides the > >who it is (aka person's logon)??? > > > >Are these sort of reversed??
